We are the music makers - producers?

nice track btw Regal!

Thanks man! Lots to do on it, I'm still learning the changes in Logic X over my v. outdated long-serving copy of Logic 7. Though a lot of the instruments are identical, not even a reskin…

ah fuck I said no more plug ins - just bought that API and Metafilter!

Ha, I was tempted by Metafilter, didn't go for it in the end. I did get TransX and Renaissance Bass as well, haven't tried those yet.

I got Renaissance Bass as a freebie last Christmas - you know what in hindsight I maybe should have stuck that on my bass channel on that track I linked to beef up the low end - d'oh!

Yowser! So I've been busy playing with my new toys. Mojave mic sound amazing and I'm well pleased with duet. Struggling to find a decent DI bass sound as always though.... f*ck me I'm an idiot. I was just about to type that I had no access to s decent bass amp (or pre-amp or DI) when I realised that I've got our bass player's Gallien Kruger bass amp sat in the living room. I have an hour till the ladywife gets in expecting dinner. Let's track live bass!

quick thing I did last night - challenge is to only use a single sine wave and the sampler in your DAW - no 3rd party FX or plugins - just the 5 second sine wave sample

Holy sheet iI just got my mitts on a motherucking smorgasbord of awesome plug ins. I'm going to be busy figuring them out the rest of this year.

anyone on Blend? added that sine wave project

hey does anybody know what this dude is using at 3:54 in the vid

or have any suggestions on similar contraptions i can f around and sample/have fun with beats? cheers!

it's the Teenage Engineering OP-1

nice, but steep learning curve, quite idiosyncratic

I think the Waldorf Streichfett might be my next hardware purchase

damn thanks @EB

what did you mean by it being quite ideosyncratic, im a complete noob to music tech but id love to make stuff for myself like this video below...

can you recommend any similar/rival (or perhaps cheaper)

I would get Native Instruments Maschine - hardware and software

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I have just bought a Roland TB-3, and have ordered a Korg Volca Beats and little pocket mixer.

Expect spamming of this thread with tedious low budget acid noodlings.

I should probably warn the mods.

dudes, I got the full Waves bundle. It's immense.

that looks really cool but a bit on the big side, the Teenage is a bit pricy so its so small, the idea i could just have it with me at an airport or wherever is real cool. not the most HQ beats but i like its sketchbook vibe

Does anyone own a Arturia Mini Brute (or Micro), thoughts?

I would be looking to use it in a live setting.

^ I have played around with the Mini Brute, it's pretty good, does gnarly good and the filter is pretty nasty

Anyone found a good moog-y hardware substitute? Played around with little/sub phattys but neither sounded as good/moog-y as an old minimoog vst I have... Jupiter is way out of reach!

it's all to do with the Moog filter eh?

Animoog on the iPad is the tits. Use that.

^ yeah - I always forget about it

iProphet has been released but only for 3rd gen iPad onwards :(

No advantage over a vst really and I'd need some delicate/expensive/annoying extra hardware to interface it properly with my setup... I did consider an ipad for music stuff but it turns out physical controls are much more my thing.

@EB Apparently they can't even get it right themselves (or don't want to).

If it's hardware you're after the 'Studio Electronics SE-1' is a copy of the Minimoog but with Oberheim filters. It's very good, I has one so can vouch for it, highly regarded in the hip hop fraternity, I believe.
